February 25-27 Winter Storm Part 4

Recommended Posts

So these massive amounts were isolated to Mt. Geos/Racine? ORD/MKE relatively screwed? Did the swath of heavy accums extend inland or were they localized to the lakeshore?

 

Basically from Waukegan, IL to Sheboygan, WI - within 10 miles of the lake got hammered. NAM hires actually got it right!

 

Down to freezing now, snow sticking to pavement more easily. Snow seems to be increasing again, lol.

Snow starting to stick to my driveway. Consolation/salvage segment of the system has begun.

12z Canadian precip forecast has snow continuing through until midnight.

Sheboygan which is north of MKE got destroyed , almost 17" with 5 foot drifts. The lake shore counties did very well, seems like 10+" is very common around the area but tapers off further inland you go.

 

And only about 8" in Milwaukee. Bit of a screwhole relatively speaking but I'd take it.

 

Looks like the NAM with that lake enhancement verified well for you guys.

It's a relative thing, ORD had by far it's single biggest event of the season and tied with 1/20/12 for the biggest since GHD. But Mt Geos has had as much snow with this storm as ORD has had this month, which is still the 17th snowiest on record in Chicago.l

Yup the 12 and 4km NAM did good so did the Euro. I thought the models were too bullish with the lake effect but it looks like the snowfall amounts that they projected will come pretty close to verifying.

This is the snowiest month I've seen since Feb. 2008. Actually a couple more tenths and I'll break the 36.4" I had that month!

 

I just went out driving around town and the roads aren't bad, but parking lots and alleyways are packed with snow and slush. Need waterproof boots today, otherwise you're asking for wet feet!

 

Just had another wave move through, which seems to have some gustier winds with it. Briefly reduced visibility down to 1/2 mile or so.

Absolutely incredible month up there, pretty decent down here. We're hoping to do a map of the coop snowfall amounts when the snowfall season ends, to show the crazy north south gradient in the LOT CWA.

If you count the snow that fell after 6am today as part of the same event, this storm actually is the single biggest since GHD for ORD.

Got 1.2" additionally today. Brings storm total to 5.7". Still snowing lightly out there.

Congrats Geos! Was one hell of a storm for you. You got about what I got with the GHD storm lol.

I don't know, I shoveled about 6 inches and could not imagine shoveling the pile that Geos has. Hope it's not on your roof, or it may fall in lol.

I hear ya.  Just shoveling the 4" that fell yesterday was kind of tiring.  Luckily got a buddy who stops by with a plow and does the driveway, so only gotta do the sidewalks.

Lets just say I don't want anymore on the roof! December of 2000 I had to shovel the roof!

 

Just some light snow right now, not really moderate.

Was that you that replied to me on FB this morning?

 

So the system snow ended at 7am technically.

I don't think the snowflakes have ceased falling here at all since 12:20pm yesterday. That deformation band back built last night before I went to bed and must have hovered in the area for awhile.

 

I think it's safe to say this corner of the state is the snowiest! haha

 

36.6" here this month, 44.3" through 4pm today this season.

Thanks! Most impressive storm since GHD! I would have never thought that this winter had it in itself to produce two 10" snowfalls here! I also wouldn't have believed early yesterday that the NAM/NAM hires was going to be right for picking up on that lake enhancement. (RGEM did good too at the end) I knew something was up after the EURO had like 3 wet runs in a row.

 

Got a strip of snow about 3 feet wide along my driveway that I don't plan to touch anytime soon. Got plenty of room to get out.

Damn man, that's gonna take forever to melt lol.  Now I can see why you stay so cold in the spring up there when I'm baking in the 70s lol. 

 

 

Cyclone-

 

Biggest storm this year?

 

Snowing good here the last hour and is sticking to the secondary roads...

Yep, beat the Dec20 storm by 2".  Wouldn't mind another snow system or two, but now that I got my "fix" I'm ready for severe.  :popcorn:
